Be it known that I, OLE MINSAAS, "a resident of the United "States, residing at others skilled in the art to which it ap pertains to make and use the same.

My invention is a combined saw, set and jointer and has for its object to provide such a tool which although being very simple in construction, will possess a number of advantageous features and will be therefore highly efficient in operation, the numerous features of construction employed in reducing the invention to an operative device beinghereinafter fully described and particularly pointed out in the claims.

I shall refer In describing the .inventlon,

V to the accompanying drawings wherein like "Projecting laterally fromthe yoke 2, and

reference characters designate correspondin parts throughout the various views and wherein: v

Figure 1 is a side elevation of a tool constructed in accordance with my invention showing the position of. parts when used as a jointer; Figs. 2 and 3 are respectively top and bottom views of the tool when used as a jointer; Fig. 4: is a central vertical lon tudinal section with the parts. disposed or use as above set forth; Fig. 5 isya vertical transverse section as seen along the plane indicated by the line 5'5 of Fig. 1; Fig. 6 is a top plan view of the tool assembled for use as a saw set, and Fig. 7 is a central ver-q ticallongitudinal section of the tool when used for this purpose; I

In these drawings, constituting a part of the application, the 'numeral l designates a head which includes a yoke'2 having a rounded front end 3, while its rear end 4 lies substantially at right angles to its arms.

in the present application shownas depending therefrom, is a rigid jaw plate 5 which spans the gap between the two arms of the v yoke and whose inner edge is integrally se- "cured to said arms. Extendin 'from the aforesaid inner edge of the rigid jawv plate v 5 to the rounded end 3 of the yoke andlikewise spanning the aforesaid gap, is a plate 5, the arms of the yoke and the end 3 there adapted for the reception of a screw to be described.

Lying parallel with'the jaw plate 5 and movable toward and away therefrom, isa

"movable jaw plate 8 having a pair of ears on its outer side through which the laterally bent ends 9 of a U-shaped lever 10 are 'passed, the arms 11 of this lever 10 being bent into the form of Us lying in planes at right angles to the lever proper. At suitable points'between theirends, the arms 11 are inserted behind ears 12 on the rear corners ofthe yoke 2 and are pivoted at these points by screws 13 or the like. The looped end of the lever 10 lies contiguous to the side of the yoke remote from the jaw plate 5 and is at this point disposed'in contact with an adjusting screw 14 threaded through the, curved end 8 of said yoke, whereby proper manipulation of said screw will move the jaw plate 8 toward or away from the plate 5 as the case may be, thus varying the width of the space between the two plates 5 and 8, it being evident that this space constitutes a guide-way to receive the saw S. a The inner side of the previously mentioned guide-way communicates with an additional guide-way 15 which is likewise disjeet against the file 16, the entire tool may be moved longitudinally upon the saw, thus causing the file to true the teeth of said saw, this truing being commonly termed jointing. During this operation, were some efiicient means not provided to retain the file 16 within the guide-way 15, it would undoubtedly be moved therefrom. Since the tool is to be used not only as a jointer, but as a saw set, and since such a set must be equipped with a plunger, it becomes highly expedient to so dispose this plunger as to allow the same to serve not only as a setting member, but as means to clamp the file in active position. To this end, the rear end 4 of the yoke 2 is providedwith a depending tact-with thesa'-w,-thus preventing thelatterlug 17 having "an opening -18 "Which coinmunicates with the guide-Way 15 and which slidably supports a plunger'19 vvhichgvvheni' the file is in use, bears against the same as clearly disclosed in Fig. 4, whea -cue Iho'v able handle 20 which is pivotally connected" to said plungeris moved'tovvard the rigid handle 21 Which is formedintegrallywith the yoke 2. When the jointing operation has been completed; itissimply necessary to allow} the; handle 20 to reced'e from the 118.11 dle 21 to ca -certain extent, whereupon-the file=-i16lWill.bereleased-and may be easily removed. l
